Analysis of Trail Mix
The trail from which I leave
Are the crumbs I leave behind
Each one marked from my life
Some much larger then others
Moistened with love and kindness
Weathered like burn toast
Surrounded protected each one
Within my mind and soul
Some experiences burnt with each trial
Most created with perfection
The ones I love the most
Housed deep within my heart
In bedded within are the things I've done
Are all through the memories I keep
Protected with love in mind
Tenderly lovingly cradled
Within my heart mind and soul
Lies the trail mix I made passed on
I shared my receipe with others
The most preciuos gift of all
Was the trail mix I created with love
